Hey all,
I am typing this in English because if I would try to write down the situation in German it would become a giant puzzle XD
Feel free to answer in German though!
The situation:
Player A has 1 creature (7/7 with +2/+2 enchantment making it a 9/9 (with trample))
Player B has 5 creatures (1/3, 1/3, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2 (when this creature dies you may select a target creature which will get -2/-2 untill end of turn))
Player A attacks player B with the 9/9 trample creature
c0=9/9
Player B wants to get rid of this bastard and will block with all his creatures in this order:
c1=1/3
c2=1/3
c3=2/2 (when this creature dies you may select a target creature which will get -2/-2 untill end of turn)
c4=2/2
c5=2/2
The question is, when does the special ability of c3 apply? directly after dying before c4 even blocks (situation 1 below) or at the end of combat (situation 2 below) or after combat (situation 3 below)
situation 1:
c0 is blocked by c1 -> 9/9 - 1/3 -> is now a 6/8 & c1 is dead
c0 is blocked by c2 -> 6/8 - 1/3 -> is now a 3/7 & c2 is dead
c0 is blocked by c3 -> 3/7 - 2/2 -> is now a 1/5 & c3 is dead
the special ability of c3 kicks in and c0 gets -2/-2 -> is now a 0/3
c0 is blocked by c4 -> 0/3 - 2/2 -> is now a 0/1 & c4 lives
c0 is blocked by c5 -> 0/1 - 2/2 -> is now dead & c5 lives
situation 2:
c0 is blocked by c1 -> 9/9 - 1/3 -> is now a 6/8 & c1 is dead
c0 is blocked by c2 -> 6/8 - 1/3 -> is now a 3/7 & c2 is dead
c0 is blocked by c3 -> 3/7 - 2/2 -> is now a 1/5 & c3 is dead
c0 is blocked by c4 -> 0/3 - 2/2 -> is now a 0/3 & c4 lives
c0 is blocked by c5 -> 0/1 - 2/2 -> is now a 0/1 & c5 lives
the special ability of c3 kicks in and c0 gets -2/-2 -> is now dead
situation 3:
c0 is blocked by c1 -> 9/9 - 1/3 -> is now a 6/8 & c1 is dead
c0 is blocked by c2 -> 6/8 - 1/3 -> is now a 3/7 & c2 is dead
c0 is blocked by c3 -> 3/7 - 2/2 -> is now a 1/5 & c3 is dead
c0 is blocked by c4 -> 0/3 - 2/2 -> is now a 0/3 & c4 lives
c0 is blocked by c5 -> 0/1 - 2/2 -> is now a 0/1 & c5 lives
combat ends, does c0 return to 9/9?
the special ability of c3 kicks in and c0 gets -2/-2 -> 7/7 untill player A is done with his/her second mainphase
I am having doubts between situation 1 and 2
Thanks for the help in advance
